Notre Dame’s 2021 football schedule

What game are you looking forward to the most?

Notre Dame starts the year ranked among the nation’s top ten teams and has a schedule that lacks a pure powerhouse, but has very few gimmes, either.

Can the Irish get back to the College Football Playoff for the third time in four seasons?
